My first green smoothie ever, and I'm hooked. Even if you hate spinach, embrace your inner Popeye and try this. . . . You'll never taste the leafies in this. If you can't get past that gorgeous good-for-you-green color (or, perhaps, you want someone else to enjoy this smoothie without asking too many questions about the contents), pop a straw into a travel mug and enjoy on the sly.
Green Smoothie ~ Peach Banana
Yield: Approx. two 16-ounce servings
- 1/2 cup Greek-style yogurt
- 1 cup unsweetened orange juice
- 1 peach, pitted but not peeled, chopped
- 1 frozen banana, broken into chunks
- 2 tablespoons flaxmeal
- 2 large handfuls baby spinach (about 2 cups), roughly chopped
Place in blender in above order; process until smooth. If you'd like, you can add a few ice cubes.
Note: If you want to save part of the batch for later, just stick it in the fridge or freezer and toss it into the blender (or a shaker cup) when you're ready to enjoy.
